The aim of this study was to summarize data on the content of macroelements (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus) in coffee brews prepared with different methods, as well as to review the factors influencing the content of the elements. Studies from 2000 to 2020, published in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases, were reviewed. Taking into account the results presented by the authors, we calculated that one portion of coffee brew can cover 7.5% or 6.4% (for women and men) and 6.6% of the daily requirement for magnesium and potassium, respectively. Coffee provides slightly lower amounts of phosphorus (up to 2.2%), sodium (up to 2.2%), and calcium (up to 0.7% of the daily requirement for women and 0.6% for men). If coffee is drunk in the quantity of three to four cups, it can be an important source of magnesium, considering the risk of magnesium deficiency in modern societies.

Passos Coffee is a widely consumed drink, hence the great interest of researchers in its and Ana S. P. Moreira biochemical composition and effect on health. Coffee consumption is growing year by year. In 2017/2018, it amounted to 9,682,620 tons, while at the turn of 2020/2021, it was Received: 9 May 2021 9,997,680 tons [1]. There are many varieties of coffee, but most commercial coffees are Accepted: 7 June 2021 called Arabica (Coffea arabica L.) or Robusta. Robusta is not even Coffea canephora var. Published: 9 June 2021 robusta, but consists of other varieties [2–4]. The positive effect of coffee on the body has been discussed in several meta-analyses [5–8]. Coffee contains over one thousand bioactive Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral ingredients [9], including: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, chlorogenic acids, diterpenes, with regard to jurisdictional claims in alkaloids, e.g., trigonelline and caffeine, free amino acids, and minerals [10]. The content of published maps and institutional affil- minerals varies across varieties and brews made using different methods, being lower in iations. brews than in coffee beans [11]. Green coffee beans usually contain 3.0–5.4% of minerals on a dry matter basis [11,12]. On the other hand, roasting does not change the concentration of minerals [13]. The main component of coffee beans is potassium—it constitutes 40% of the ash [11,14]. Copyright: © 2021 by the authors. In terms of their importance to humans, minerals can be divided into macroelements Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. (macronutrients) and microelements (micronutrients). Elements from both of these groups This article is an open access article are essential for the proper functioning of the human organism and have many important distributed under the terms and functions [15,16]. The demand for these substances varies significantly [17]. Both an excess conditions of the Creative Commons and deficiency of certain elements may cause adverse health effects [15,16]. Macroelements Attribution (CC BY) license (https:// are minerals whose content in the body exceeds 0.01% of body weight, and the demand creativecommons.org/licenses/by/ for them is higher than 100 mg per day. Among them are: potassium, sodium, calcium, 4.0/). Foods 2021, 10, 1328. https://doi.org/10.3390/foods10061328 https://www.mdpi.com/journal/foods Foods 2021, 10, 1328 2 of 26 magnesium, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine. Micronutrients are found in human organ- isms in smaller amounts—less than 0.01% of body weight, and the demand for them is also lower—less than 100 mg per day. They include: iron, zinc, selenium, copper, chromium, manganese, cobalt, iodine, fluorine, molybdenum, and others. Among minerals, there are also toxic elements, such as aluminum, arsenic, mercury, lead, or cadmium [18]. These can accumulate in the body and pose a health hazard [19]. It seems that coffee can be a source of minerals in the diet, especially if consumed frequently [20]. Plants absorb nutrients from the soil, and therefore the following factors have a significant impact on the composition of coffee beans: the type of coffee, type of soil, cultivation method (including fertilization), environmental pollution (which finds its way into the soil), and production processes [21–27]. Moreover, it seems that the height above sea level and rainfall may also play a role [28–30]. On the other hand, the content of minerals in a brew is influenced by analogous factors affecting the composition of coffee beans, but also by additional variables: the method of brewing, type of water used, brewing time, the ratio of coffee to water, degree of roasting and grinding of coffee beans, or pressure in the case of methods such as coffee machine or coffee pot [13,20,31,32]. The origin of coffee seems to be the most important factor influencing the mineral composition of beans [24,33–37]. Countries and regions vary as to the mineral composition of the soil. It is related to the naturally occurring components and their proportions, as well as to human influence [11,24,32,34,38]. Moreover, minerals differ significantly in their extraction behavior [36,39], and it still remains unclear whether the source of the identified minerals in the coffee brew is water or the coffee itself. An additional factor is the bioavailability of individual ingredients, i.e., the amount that will actually be used by the body. This is influenced by both physiological and nutritional factors as well as food processing [40]. Coffee is a widely consumed drink, so this publication summarizes research on its mineral content to assess whether it can be considered a source of macroelements in a diet. 2. Materials and Methods The study takes into account research from the years 2000 to 2020. The databases searched were Google Scholar and PubMed. The following terms were entered: ‘coffee’, ‘Arabica’, ‘Robusta’, ‘minerals in coffee brews’, ‘macroelements in coffee brews’, ‘sodium’, ‘potassium’, ‘calcium’, ‘magnesium’, ‘phosphorus’, and ‘coffee origin’. We included publi- cations which contained most of these categories of information: the specific type of coffee, coffee origin, brewing method used by consumers, brewing time, amount of coffee and water, type of water, cup volume, temperature, pressure, type of coffee, time and degree of grinding, and the degree of roasting. The exclusion criterion was the use by the authors of a method of brewing which is not commonly used by consumers. 3. Results and Discussion Tables1 and2 contain the literature data obtained as part of the research review for regular and instant coffee brews, respectively. In order to compare the results by various authors, the method of presenting the content of individual minerals in brews was standardized and recalculated, and then expressed as mg/100 mL. In some cases, the results (marked as ‘*’) were presented as per 100 g to be more comparable. It would be necessary to determine the density of the brews prepared by the authors in the publications where the results were expressed as per 100 g in order to correctly assess the amounts of elements that they provide. Thus, these values were only referred to at the end of each paragraph. When the authors reported the content of macroelements per 100 g of coffee (not infusion), the content was converted into a portion of coffee adopted by the authors, and the final volume was assumed as 100 mL. If the authors did not provide a conversion for daily requirement, we made it independently. Foods 2021, 10, 1328 3 of 26 Table 1. The content of macroelements per 100 mL of coffee brew.

    CJ1360 Decaffeinated Mexico Unión Juárez Alfred Klein & Annette Schnippenkoetter Water Process Crown Jewel July 24th, 2020 | See This Coffee Online Here ​ Intro by Mayra Orellana-Powell & Chris ​ Kornman Earlier this season we crowned another of Finca San Carlos’ microlots, the Jade Centennial, and now we’re pleased to offer this dense, chocolaty decaf from the same farm for your enjoyment. In 2020 we visited San Carlos and it’s clear that Alfred, Annette, and their 40 full time employees have done the job. Processing coffee at San Carlos has no compromises. Coffee cherry is carefully sorted, depulped with the vintage vertical depulpers, slowly fermented for 48 hours in cold spring water, then double washed with a 48-hour soak. There is versatility with drying strategies. Micro-lots are slowly dried on patios and raised beds, while mechanical dryers are used for drying larger lots. Although there is an abundance of spring water, Alfred has configured the mill to operate with 5,000 liters per day, which is recycled several times and then returned downstream, clean, pH balanced, and oxygenated thanks to a state-of-the-art water purification system and bio-digester. All of these layers of efficiency are essential because weather patterns have become more and more unpredictable. Alfred also runs his own dry mill using a series of 3 vintage catadores (wind channels) to classify his coffee. He explained that cherry selection and classification at the wet mill is so good that he does not need any more equipment in his dry mill to sort the coffee. Alfred’s wife Annette is also deeply involved in the business, handling human resource and labor law compliance for employees, as well as all the export logistics from Tapachula, including refrigerated banana containers, expediting their shipping schedule.

  • Customs and Traditions Ufuk Arslan Anatolian High School
    CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS UFUK ARSLAN ANATOLIAN HIGH SCHOOL ANKARA-TURKEY TURKISH COFFEE Turkish coffee (Türk kahvesi) is a method of preparing unfiltered coffee. Roasted and then finely ground coffee beans are simmered in a pot (cezve), optionally with sugar, and served in a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle. When served plain, the bitter coffee is traditionally accompanied by a sweet, such as a piece of rock candy or lokum. Turkish coffee is an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Turkey confirmed by UNESCO. As well as being an everyday beverage, Turkish coffee is also a part of the traditional Turkish wedding custom. As a prologue to marriage, the bridegroom's parents (in the lack of his father, his mother and an elderly member of his family) must visit the young girl's family to ask the hand of the bride-to-be and the blessings of her parents upon the upcoming marriage. During this meeting, the bride-to-be must prepare and serve Turkish coffee to the guests. For the groom's coffee, the bride-to-be sometimes uses salt instead of sugar to gauge his character. If the bridegroom drinks his coffee without any sign of displeasure, the bride- to-be assumes that the groom is good-tempered and patient. So in fact it is the boy who is passing an exam. Also superstition says the grounds left after drinking Turkish coffee can be used for fortune-telling. The cup is commonly turned over into the saucer to cool, and it is believed by some that the patterns of the coffee grounds can be used for a method of fortune telling known as tasseography (kahve falı) Turkish coffee preparation (one cup): Pour water into a small Turkish coffee cup (fincan) (about 1.7oz) and dispense it into a small brass cezve, coffee pot.

Turkish cuisine (Turkish: Türk mutfağı) is largely the heritage of Ottoman cuisine, which can be described as a fusion and refinement of Central Asian, Caucasian, Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Balkan cuisines. Turkish cuisine has, in turn, influenced those and other neighboring cuisines, including those of Western Europe. The Ottomans fused various culinary traditions of their realm with influences from Middle Eastern cuisines, along with traditional Turkic elements from Central Asia (such as yogurt), creating a vast array of specialties—many with strong regional associations. In the western parts of Turkey, where olive trees grow abundantly, olive oil is the major type of oil used for cooking. The cuisines of the Aegean, Marmara and Mediterranean regions are rich in vegetables, herbs, and fish. Central Anatolia has many famous specialties, such as keşkek (kashkak), mantı (especially from Kayseri) and gözleme. Anatolian Table is highly rated because we only serve healthy, fresh, authentic homemade style dishes prepared without any food coloring, additives or MSG. Our recipes feature locally grown fresh produce and are prepared daily in the Anatolian Table kitchen from scratch. Treat yourself and a guest to the Anatolian Table experience to enjoy our authentic Turkish dishes, award-winning Turkish Tea and our warm hospitality. Thank you for coming, Mr E.
